2 deep at every position with quality 2-way players. No holes on either end.

We're good.

Superstar or stand pat.


Fully agree. the only minor thing we could upgrade is another big man since gasol is so old. I would try to find a cheap rebounder, some like Tony Bradley from Utah (14 reb per 36min), Chris Silva (13 per 36), Trey Lyles, or Mason Plumlee

OG and RHJ are big question marks for offensive production from the 3 spot, consolidate assets for an upgrade there.

Trade McCaw for a ballboy.

At the same time, they may be the best defensive 1-2 punch at the 3 in the league....while producing well and efficiently to boot.

A 2-way offensive threat wing player.

Only a couple of those r in the league tho.


Yeah, Kawhi and Norm.
Good thing we still have Norm on the team.

Possibly, but I feel scoring droughts are going to happen during the playoffs for this team. Would be nice to have another proven offensive weapon for the postseason on a short deal, while continuing to groom OG for the position moving forward. Not many chances left to strike with Lowry and Gasol, if it doesn’t involve bankrupting the future I’m all for adding more talent.

Honestly, I just want them to consolidate some of the back end of the bench. Turn 3-5 guys into 2. Sign Oshae to a contract. Get some hungry guys like Justin Anderson and Tyler Ennis on 10 days see if they've got enough to stick and wait to see who pops on the buy out market.

OG has become one of our best 3 point shooters and seems unfazed by the playoffs, i.e. playoffs from 2 years ago.

and arguably, the best defender from position 1-4.

you don't need to upgrade OG when he's doing his job on defense.

Gasol is old but we are platooning him with Ibaka in the playoffs or go small with RHJ as small ball center. and there are no back to backs in the playoffs. Gasol will be fine.

Raptors are probably one of the, if not the most, well-rounded teams in the NBA. from starters to bench. other than McCaw.
